"We've got a flight from Zhuliany to Tenerife. Dart Airlines is a carrier, IdrisKa Tour is an operator. The airport has no information about the departure at the moment," one of the affected tourists told TSN.

"The airport told us that the tour operator had not paid for the flight and almost 100 people are stranded at the airport, being unable to travel. Two flights are involved: the first one is from Kyiv to Alicante and the second one is from Kyiv to Tenerife. These are charter flights serviced by Dart," he said.

"The tour operator gives no information, all numbers are unavailable. The people are nervous, the airport bears no responsibility. Now it is in fact fraud committed by the operator, and we've got no solution," the tourist said.

He said that he had paid for his charter flight only, while other people had bought entire packages with accommodation.

"Two-way tickets cost about EUR 500-600. We've spent more than 2.5 hours at the airport, and there is no information at the moment," he said.
